I've been slacking on the dream documenting the past few weeks. Here's what I remember:
Dreamt about Renee. We weren't bf/gf again but somehow we got involved in the same activity and she was driving me somewhere. I kissed her and it made her uncomfortable, so I stopped. I just wanted her to know that I was still attracted to her.
Later I had a dream about Andrea. But most of it wasn't about her directly. I had some new coworker who looked like Jamie but reminded me of 'Ya Girl' personality-wise. i.e. she was pretty dumb. She was working on a laptop on the bike bridge near my house in the middle of the night. I guess it was customary for us to do work there. She left for the night and left her laptop running and open, and I found some pictures on it of some kind of party. I noticed some of Andrea's friends there and was scouring the pictures for her face to see if she was, also. At the end of the dream I was hanging out with Andrea.
At some point I had a dream in which George Bush Jr. was 'leading troops into battle'. Actually the whole thing was staged, they were entering some commercial building with a glass front, and the 'troops' weren't paying attention to George. Their commander gave the signal to go on in, where they encountered little kids running around with masks, and they shot the kids with squirt guns. The building became my church, and I had to go hang out in a Sunday school room. I had to squeeze in between some kids on the rug because it was full. They were learning about Jesus and singing songs and crap, but I went along with it because it seemed the path of least resistance.
This morning I dreamt that I was in the game that I've been thinking about. It seemed to be tile-based, and there were different regions. 'outside' areas were white and 'inside' areas were black. But that was just part of the regular 2D plane. There were also what I was thinking of as being separate planes frankward, but in the dream 'frankward' was just an area to the east with a straight boundary.
This all took place in a house on a hill. On the outside it looked like the Waltons' house, but a bunch of unrelated people lived there. The landlord came by and asked me if anyone was home, and I said no because everyone I could think of had gone somewhere, but I had forgotten about our Chinese roommate, who then walked out. She was quiet and easy to forget about, I guess.
I was on some 6-person committee to figure out something. We spent a few hours every day over the course of like a week sitting at this table. I sat at the end of the table and Barack Obama sat to my left. I've no idea what we were discussing.
And here's what's been going on in real life.
Last weekend I got the 'just wants to be friends' answer from Marlene after a lot of twisting. She didn't seem to know how sure she was, but when I asked if I should keep looking she said 'I guess so', so I am. Still trying to get her to go try the Green Owl with me sometime. If she ever decides she wants to 'be more than friends' with me, that would be great, but I'm no longer counting on it.
Planted some potatoes and onions. Need to plant more. Weather was really very July-esque for a while, but now is chilly (40s?) again, and today is gloomy. I also started a bunch of seeds in little biodegradable pots in an aquarium, using dirt that Mom had her gardner dump in my driveway.
Refinanced my mortgage. No payment in April.
Need to do taxes.
Volunteered to collect nomination signatures for Doug Lafollette. I plan to get some tomorrow when I'm doing coffee for church.
Mean to help out Lori Compas, too. I think there's some canvassing going on today, but I didn't really plan ahead, so I'm staying home, today.
